Monday school melt down

This is me sneaking into my blog during housework time to update..... :P

I expected either of the boys to melt down when they had to go to school again after 2 days' break over the weekend.... but my mommy's heart still clenched when Small Boy started to yell in earnest

"I DUN WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL! I DUN WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL! I WANT TO STAY IN THE CAR!"

when I unbuckled his seat belt this morning.

Part of me is amazed that he is -that- articulate when under pressure.

Small Boy refused to take off his shoes, then refused to enter the school, and arched his body to cling onto the door when I scooped him in.  Medium Boy stared agog at me and the Teachers.  He was watching to see what the adults do.
Senior Teacher D whispered to me "Better for you to go...."  so trusting them to do what they do best, I turned tail and left.... (hard hearted mommy).

I called the school a moment ago.  Small Boy threw his tantrum for 15 minutes, then stopped, and is joining into Chinese song singing now.  Medium Boy is now upstairs with his peers.  He still resists Chinese class, but slowly slowly.... one step at a time.

Now I need to go, hang the laundry while the sun shines!

    My girl just started kindy this year :) I can so relate. Tears every morning and she isn't joining in any activities yet... but to borrow your phrase ... this will pass. Mummies always do what needs to be done.
